"It went great. When I contacted the company on a Friday, the owner, Scott Nelson, returned my call right away. Though they couldn't fit me in for a regular service call for another 3 weeks, Nelson agreed to come by that next Monday and give me an assessment and estimate about the electrical panel. He said if the fuse issue was something quick to fix, he would try to take of it. Nelson arrived on time on Monday and was able to both give me an assessment (of what it would cost to upgrade my panel from 20 to 30) as well as assure me that, right now, everything was fine except that something was triggering the arc fault circuit and that needed looking at. Luckily, one of the service calls that day had cancelled so about 2 hours later, Ben and Eric came over to diagnose and fix the problem. They were friendly yet professional and though it took some time to figure out what was tripping the circuit, they were able to do so and now I have working lights at the top of the stairs and on the front porch. I really appreciated how both Scott Nelson and his workers, Ben and Eric, explained things to me and they handled my big, friendly dogs well. I will definitely be using Scott Nelson Electric in the future for any electrical needs."

"Jack and his crew did a great job with the work we needed done which ended up being more complicated than we had anticipated. He charged by the job rather than the hour, which worked out well for us since his crew had to pull half the wires out of the electrical box to figure out what previous electricians had done in our condo. Jack and his crew were honest and efficient and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"Both the work and technician himself were exceptional. We were really happy with the consultation and range in offering. The only down side was cost. We purchased a unit that has a market value of around $150-$200 and our bill was over $600. This means that to install the unit labor was $200 or above per hour."

"Anton from AGI Lab, responded promptly to my inquiry through home advisor. He quickly schedule me for a quote and assured me there was no charge for the quote. Anton arrived at the scheduled time and assesed the issue at hand. He tested all the components necessary to identify the issue. To our suprise the issue was not at all with our electrical, it was with the actual equipment. He assured us that the electric was fine and nothing to worry about. We are thankful for his time and responsiveness."

"Daniel addressed a not so straightforward switch replacement that I had botched. Not only did have to install it right but also had to diagnose and replace the circuit breaker in the panel. He also had to further diagnose a wire that had been melted and address that as well. He showed great problem solving skills, cleaned up and was extremely professional and friendly. Even though the job took much longer than expected, he still only charged what he had initially stated. Would hire again."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Round Lake, IL

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
